Found this dime today and wanted some advice on it. I thought that perhaps it could have been a clash, but I cannot find anything in the other side to cause this. The area by the fire on the torch on the reverse has extra metal. It just seems a little odd. Any info would be much appreciated, thanks.

Need a little better pics. Kinda looks like die flow lines or a die gouge maybe. Could be a clash but I don't think so.

What you have is a "bleb", the positive impression of a die erosion pit. It's a type of Die Deterioration that's probably related to de-carborization of the die steel. The surface becomes marred by shallow, irregular pits.
